The Local Group of EQUO in Murcia has described as excessive the granting of a grant to the Sardinera Association for a total of € 142,000, while four social activities aimed at children at risk of exclusion will receive just over € 57,000.
In the opinion of the Green Party, it is immoral that a private activity such as elite groups of sardines, receive such a large amount of public money, while, from the City of Murcia, provides a scarce budget to actions aimed at reducing inequalities In a sector as sensitive as children.
We must remember that Murcia leads the poverty rate in our country.
According to official data, as recorded in a recent report by the European Network to Combat Poverty and Social Exclusion in the Spanish State (EAPN-ES), the AROPE (At-Risk-Of-Poverty and Exclusion) Of poverty and social exclusion, reaches 44.9% in our region, compared to the average of 29.9% in Spain.
Faced with these chilling facts, EQUO Murcia qualifies as inadmissible that the Murcia Consistory close the eyes to this problem and continue to allocate a disproportionate amount of money to festivities while disregarding the most disadvantaged sectors of the population.
